Enjoy spectacular sunsets from nearly every room in this well-priced waterfront gem — whether you're relaxing on the dock, deck, in the Carolina Room, or even from the master bedroom. Step inside to a warm and inviting open floor plan, bathed in natural light from clerestory windows and enhanced by a vaulted ceiling. The spacious great room seamlessly combines living and dining areas and flows directly into a generously sized kitchen — perfect for entertaining or quiet evenings at home. From the Carolina Room panoramic views of the Northwest Creek waterway, you'll enjoy watching boats cruise by, birds fishing, and nature's ever-changing beauty. The master suite offers privacy and comfort with multiple closets, a private bath, and direct access to the deck. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath are thoughtfully positioned on the opposite side of the home for added privacy. Boaters will love the 75' x 5' concrete dock, upgraded in 2011 with new pilings and fiberglass outer pilings (spaced 40' x 20'). The boat area has been dredged to 6 feet — making it easy to hop aboard and cruise to the Neuse River, New Bern, Oriental, or the ICW and beyond. Or relax on your dock's bench with your fishing rod and toss in crab pots to catch tonights dinner. Additional features include a laundry area with access to a large downstairs garage/workshop — ideal for boat gear, tools, and storage. Elevator lift is an added bonus! Located in a gated waterfront community offering incredible amenities: 2 marinas, Boat ramp & fishing pier, 18-hole golf course, Restaurant, pool & parks, Pickleball & tennis courts, park, dog park & acres of walking trails, clubhouse, meeting rooms, and lots of clubs & activities.
